Candlemas in February 2nd, 2021

Some history...
Candlemas comes from the word Candela (candle)
The Candlemas celebration is associated with light, but also purification, fertility, and prosperity.

The tradition was to find a blessed candle in a church and carry it home, being very careful to keep it lit, to represent light and invoke good fortune so it may watch over the winter sowing and bring about a good harvest the next summer.

Meanwhile, another tradition was born : crepes !
This particular tradition comes from a distant myth according to which wheat would be rotten for the entire year lest crepes be made on Candlemas day.
